MAYOR PAPENFUSE ISSUES A STATEMENT UPON THE PASSING OF ACT 47 BILL

Here is a statement from Mayor Eric Papenfuse upon the passing of the Act 47 Bill:

“I would like to thank all those who worked tirelessly over the past year to get this bill passed – especially Senator John DiSanto, Representative Patty Kim, and Representative Greg Rothman. Together, we achieved what many thought was impossible. While I wish we had been able to achieve a permanent solution for the City and the region, Harrisburg’s immediate fiscal crisis has lifted. I look forward to working with the new members of the Intergovernmental Cooperation Authority – as it’s time to roll up our sleeves and continue to work for the long-term success of Harrisburg and the Capital Region.”
